by Clark Ashton Smith (1893 - 1961)
The Dream‑Bridge
Language: English
All drear and barren seemed the hours, That passed rain-swept and tempest-blown. The dead leaves fell like brownish notes Within the rain's grey monotone. There came a lapse between the showers; The clouds grew rich with sunset gleams; Then o'er the sky a rainbow sprang - A bridge unto the Land of Dreams.
